I'm sitting down by the highwayDown by that highway sideEverybody's going somewhereRiding just as fast as they can rideI guess they've got a lot to doBefore they can rest assuredTheir lives are justifiedPray to God for me babyHe can let me slide

'Cause I've been up and down this highwayFar as my eyes can seeNo matter how fast I runI can never seem to get away from meNo matter where I amI can't help feeling I'm just a day awayFrom where I want to beNow I'm running home babyLike a river to the sea

Baby if you can see meOut across this wildernessThere's just one thingI was hoping you might guessBaby you can free meAll in the power of your sweet tenderness

I can see it in your eyesYou've got those bright baby bluesYou don't see what you've got to gainBut you don't like to loseYou watch yourself from the sidelinesLike your life is a game you don't mind playingTo keep yourself amusedI don't mean to be cruel babyBut you're looking confused

Baby if you can hear meTurn down your radioThere's just one thingI want you to knowWhen you've been near meI've felt the love stirring in my soul

It's so hard to come byThat feeling of peaceThis friend of mine said"Close your eyes, and try a few of these"I thought I was flying like a birdSo far above my sorrowBut when I looked downI was standing on my kneesNow I need someone to help meSomeone to help me please

Baby if you need meLike I know I need youThere's just one thingI'll ask you to doTake my hand and lead meTo the hole in your garden wallAnd pull me through
